From compact 15-passenger minibuses for small agency teams to 56-passenger motorcoaches for large unit movements, the network carries the vehicle your headcount and mission actually need. Call 518-801-1850 any time or use the online tool to compare buses and rates in seconds!

Capitol Complex & Empire State Plaza Shuttle Service for State Agencies
Keeping state agency teams moving efficiently between Albany's government buildings is exactly what a dedicated shuttle bus handles best. The Empire State Plaza (Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY 12242) houses ten agency buildings and employs tens of thousands of state workers daily — and during New York's legislative session (January through June), traffic around the New York State Capitol (State St & Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12224) builds significantly on session days. A charter bus or minibus keeps your agency team on one coordinated itinerary instead of splitting into individual cars hunting for parking on Eagle Street.
The official Empire State Plaza entrance map marks a Bus Loop on the underground concourse level, while street-level access to the Capitol is unavailable and visitors enter through the underground security checkpoint. Your bus keeps the agency team together at the Plaza while everyone enters through the correct security route. Compare available vehicles and pricing for your specific dates through the online tool, or call 518-801-1850 to put together a custom shuttle package for your agency!

Full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches carry the whole unit and all their gear in one vehicle, with undercarriage luggage bays handling duffels and equipment.
Stratton Air National Guard Base is a secure facility, so include the base access requirement in your quote request from the start. Your bus keeps the unit's movement on one coordinated schedule instead of splitting personnel across separate vehicles at the gate. Compare buses, packages, and pricing in one place — no account needed — and call 518-801-1850 any time for a custom quote built around your unit's schedule!

For Quick and Easy Albany International Airport Transfers for Government & Military Groups
For quick and easy airport transfers for government delegations and military personnel arriving at Albany International Airport (ALB) (737 Albany Shaker Rd, Albany, NY 12211), Busrentalalbany.com is the fastest way to find and compare the right vehicle. Albany International operates a single terminal, so all arriving passengers exit through one baggage claim level — making group staging straightforward. Prearranged charter transportation stages in the commercial vehicle area and pulls to the arrivals curb once your group is assembled and ready.
From ALB, a charter bus reaches the Watervliet Arsenal in approximately 14 minutes via I-90 E, the Empire State Plaza in approximately 15 minutes, and Stratton Air National Guard Base in approximately 18 minutes via I-90 W. During the terminal expansion, the airport's Cell Phone Lot closes on September 9, 2026; the temporary waiting area is at Heritage Lane and Albany Shaker Road, and overnight parking is not permitted. Your bus avoids that small-car waiting routine by staging with the commercial vehicles and coming to the curb only after everyone is assembled. Compare vehicles and book your airport transfer through the online tool or by calling 518-801-1850!
Whether It's a Single-Day Legislative Trip or a Multi-Day Training Transfer, the Network Has Your Bus
Whether your mission is a one-way transfer of 12 agency staff from the New York State Department of Transportation headquarters (50 Wolf Rd, Albany, NY 12232) to a regional conference in Saratoga Springs, or a multi-day movement of 55 National Guard personnel up I-87 to Fort Drum for annual training, the network carries the right vehicle. Full-size motorcoaches for the long haul come with onboard restrooms and undercarriage luggage bays for equipment. Minibuses handle the quick Capitol-area shuttles during session week.
Compare both side by side, see pricing for your exact dates, and book the bus your mission requires — all through one quick form or one call to 518-801-1850!

Access to the Empire State Plaza (Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY 12242) and the Capitol campus (State St & Washington Ave, Albany, NY 12224) varies by security requirements and event. Coordinators should confirm vehicle access and designated loading zones with the New York State Office of General Services at (518) 474-3899 before the trip date, as access points and staging areas shift based on security protocols and session-day traffic management.
Book three to six months out for any trip falling during the regular legislative session (January through June), and stretch that to six months or more for the weeks surrounding the April 1 state budget deadline. Session days — typically Tuesday through Thursday — are the highest-demand periods for government transportation in Albany. Waiting until the last minute on session weeks means fewer available vehicles and higher rates.
The earlier you compare through the online tool, the better your options!

Confirm your headcount and arrival time when you request your quote, and mention any equipment or luggage requirements so the right vehicle size is matched to your movement.
The Watervliet Arsenal is an active U.S. Army installation, and vehicle access is subject to base security protocols. Coordinators should contact the Arsenal's public affairs office at (518) 266-5111 well in advance to confirm the designated vehicle entry point, visitor access requirements, and any identification or documentation needed for the bus to enter the installation.
